Stiles keeps up the pressure on Ford for his jobs disaster

QUEEN’S PARK — Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles continues to press Doug Ford on his jobs disaster.

The Leader of Ontario’s Official Opposition demanded a plan to tackle ongoing job losses during today’s Question Period:

“In Brampton, Stellantis is packing up and taking 3,000 jobs to Illinois,” said Stiles.

“Layoffs at the GM Plant in Ingersoll mean 1,200 workers and their families are losing their stable income. In Hamilton, I heard from Mike, who is out of work after 31 years in the steel sector, when Hamilton Wire closed its doors after 70 years.

“How much money do workers like Mike have to fork up to get this government to pay any attention to them?

“People are worried about losing their jobs, their homes, their health care. For seven days, I have asked this Premier for his jobs plan, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that the only plan is to take advantage of this jobs disaster by allowing his friends and donors to cash in. Every member of the government will have to wear this.”

The Ontario NDP continues to demand accountability from the Ford government, while fighting to protect jobs and uplift workers.
